FAQs
Any developer can use Square APIs to build and launch an app in the Square App Marketplace, provided they follow our terms of service and complete the required steps. Get started by logging in to your Square Developer account and creating an app.
By publishing in the Square App Marketplace, you’re automatically considered an app partner. Some developers and larger companies can apply for additional benefits, such as a dedicated partner manager and profit sharing.
The time it takes to launch your application in the Square App Marketplace can vary based on several factors:
1. Application readiness
Developers who have already built and tested their applications thoroughly will have the shortest time to launch. Those who have yet to work out bugs or apps that are not fully integrated will take longer to launch and will have a more involved review process.2. QA testing
All apps will go through a QA process to ensure they meet technical and usability requirements ahead of launch. Should your app fail to meet our requirements, expect to spend some additional time rectifying any finds before getting approval to launch. Apps that have yet to be built or that have a good amount of development work remaining will likely have a more involved wireframing process.3. Content listing
Those who work on their Square App Marketplace listing content in parallel with their build speed up their launch timeline. We recommend submitting your marketing content at the same time as you submit your app for technical review.You will receive an update via email on the status of your application. If we determine that you are not a candidate for additional benefits, you can still build and list your app on the Square App Marketplace.
Square focuses our partner management resources on opportunities that will have the greatest impact on many sellers. We are selective because we want to ensure that new partners can help solve problems and meet the strategic needs of many sellers. We also want to ensure that there’s a strong enough demand for your app.
